Key Features
- Chrome-Lined Barrel — Why it matters: This barrel resists corrosion and wear, so your rifle stays accurate even after hundreds of rounds at the range or in humid field conditions.
- Hogue Overmolded Handguard — Why it matters: The soft rubber grip reduces hand fatigue during long shooting days, and it stays secure even when wet, making it ideal for teaching new shooters.
- Adjustable Polymer Stock with Cheek Riser — Why it matters: You can tailor the length of pull and cheek height to fit smaller or larger family members, ensuring a comfortable, consistent cheek weld for better accuracy.
- Adjustable Iron Sights — Why it matters: These rugged, easy-to-adjust sights let you zero in quickly for plinking or target practice, and they hold zero reliably through rough handling.
